January

If you’re anything like me January is a month to concentrate on drinking alcohol. So although gardening probably isn’t your top priority, get into it because those beans aren’t going to grow by themselves. Weeds grow quickly in summer so make sure you get them all out. Keep up to date by doing a little bit of weeding everyday. That will make the job seem less epic.

Water regularly, but not during the heat of the day. Remember to wear sunblock and a hat.
